allocate space for executable code without requiring to compile the modules
support (CONFIG_MODULES=y) in.

As I said in response to your first post of this, which seems to have
gone unacknowledged, I don't think this is a good idea.

So, NAK on the whole concept this without some discussion on the 32-bit
ARM issues.
